      I pay taxes. More than the vast majority of military personnel pay.

          Without people like KH and Kuci funding your childish wargames, you'd have no (potential future) job.

            But without his childish wargames, there'd be more Afghans.

              In Canada, we use Afghans for blankets. [/badass]

                    Oh yeah his friends are all rich snotty brats... typical that they think this is amusing.

                    They're probably bed-wetting lib'ruls, too.

                      You guys don't even know them. I'm aware that you're only saying these things to try to get under my skin, but if you're ever wondering why I'm so condescending of many people on this board, stop wondering--you've just demonstrated it.

                            Yeah, sorry.

                            True though as you pointed out, someone has to pay for the military.

                                The Marines are a little different than the other services in that they want all their MOSs to have a good portion of the best recruits to keep standards high across the board instead of letting all the best qualified people gravitate to the more sexy jobs. They break the recruits into groups based on scores and equally distribute them amoungst the various communities. Everyone gets some rockstars, everyone gets some anchor men.

                                There are some exceptions for certain things that have specific requirements like pilots and EOD. They pretty much get to pick who they want of the volunteers for those communities.
